A new analysis by Douglas A. McIntyre and Alexander E. M. Hess of 24/7 Wall St. has determined the five companies who have donated the most money to political parties, candidates, and PACs.
At number five with total 2012 contributions of $2,370,150
was Jeffrey Katzenberg's Dreamworks Animation SKG Inc. Ninety-nine
percent of all Dreamworks's political donations went to the Democratic
Party.
Coming in at number four was AT&T.; The telecom giant's 2012
contributions so far total $2,504,219. Thirty-five percent of its
contributions flow to the Democratic Party and 65 percent to the
Republican Party. This year AT&T; has spent $7,050,000 on lobbying.
The third largest corporate political contributor was the Comcast
Corporation. Total contributions for 2012 are $4,769,994, which break
29 percent to the Democratic Party and 71 percent to the Republican
Party. In 2012, Comcast has spent $1,380,000 on lobbying. Having
contributed $194,650, Comcast Executive Vice President David Cohen is
the company's largest direct political donor.
Since 1989, investment titan Goldman Sachs has contributed a
staggering $39 million in political donations. This year, Goldman comes
in at number two with $4,769,994 donated thus far. Seventy-one percent of Goldman's donations have gone to the Republican
Party and 29 percent to Democrats. Goldman has spent $1,380,000 on
lobbying in 2012. The 2008 campaign saw Goldman spending the most it
has ever spent on political contributions, giving just over $7 million.
And the number one corporate political donor for 2012 is Sheldon
Adelson's Las Vegas Sands, Corp., who has given $11,738,600, 100 percent
of which has gone to the Republican Party. Mr. Adelson emerged as an
important force in the Republican Primary when he decided to donate $7.5
million to the Gingrich-backing Winning Our Future PAC. Mr. Adelson and
his wife Miriam have also made $15 million in individual contributions
through the Adelson Drug Clinic.
The rankings were based off of figures obtained through the Center for Responsive Politics website, opensecrets.org.

+3I want a government that no longer interferes with anyone's right to earn a living, whether they are a worker who does not want to be forced to join a union, a self-employed person, a small business owner, or shareholders and owners of mid-sized and big businesses. The government needs to leave the private sector alone and let it create the ideas, goods, and services that individuals choose either to buy or to ignore by their own choice.
These businesses also account for farming and ranching, obama has this anti-business attidude about taxing those who earn $200, 000 to $250,000, this includes these business ventures who are hit harder because of fuel and equipment plus taxes. obama hates this country and he is doing everything he can to destroy it!
Throughout America's long history of becoming, and being, the greatest nation on this planet, all was accomplished as the result of free market capitalism, IOW business and corporations. For a century now we have seen the communist attacks on our free markets and on liberty itself. In 2008 they managed to win control with Obama and with the sick anti-capitalist agenda. They have largely destroyed all that made America great, and sadly, have NOTHING to replace it.
Seems that our Right to Life has been replaced by the horror of the greater good. The individual, his sanctity, and his natural drive for prosperity are to be destroyed in the name of equality and pity for the worthless. Enjoy.
Sad thing is that it poses a huge dilemma for humanity. Even fools get to Rule.
